Indications
Contraindications
Storage
room temperature (includes shipping)
Principle
- the Leiden mutation affects the factor V gene (chromosome 1) mRNA base 1691 from G to A & the protein amino acid 506 from Arg to Gln
- this results in the factor V protein being resistant to inactivation by activated protein C
- the mutation is detected by amplification of exon 10 from the gene followed by RFLP analysis of an MnI site also affected by the mutation
- genetic variation can affect the analysis, thus clinical correlation is important
Clinical significance
- most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis
- least thrombogenic of genetic risk factors[1]
- 5-7% of the general white population is heterozygous for the factor V Leiden mutation
- most heterozygous patients are asymptomatic
- occurs in up to 15% of Greek population
- occurs almost exclusively in white population
- 20% of patients with 1st thrombosis will have the factor V Leiden mutation
- 50% of patients with recurrent spontaneous thromboses will have the factor V Leiden mutation
- heterozygotes have roughly 3 to 5-fold increased risk of thromboembolism[1][3]
- absolute 10 year risk is 0.7% if
- < 40 years of age
- BMI < 25 kg/m2
- NON smoker
- absolute 10 year risk is 10% if
- absolute 10 year risk is 0.7% if
- homozygotes have roughly 15 fold increased risk of thromboembolism[3]
- absolute 10 year risk is 3% if
- < 40 years of age
- BMI < 25 kg/m2
- NON smoker
- absolute 10 year risk is 51% if
- absolute 10 year risk is 3% if
- not a factor in atherothrombotic events (arterial thrombosis)[6]
